When did $MELANIA coin launch?

On 19 January 19, 2025, Melania Trump, First Lady to President-elect Donald Trump, launched her own meme coin, $MELANIA, on the Solana blockchain. The launch of $MELANIA happened just one day after Trump introduced his $TRUMP coin.

Since its launch, the $MELANIA coin has surged in value - the token reached a market capitalization of $4 billion within 30 minutes of its release. The introduction of $MELANIA had an immediate impact on $TRUMP, causing the Trump coin market capitalization to drop.
